  Currently an advanced superconducting test accelerator (ASTA) is being built at Fermilab. The accelerator will consist of a photo electron gun, injector, ILC-type cryomodules, multiple downstream beam lines for testing cryomodules and carrying advanced accelerator researches. In this paper we will report the commissioning and the drive laser system for this facility. It consists of a fiber laser system properly locked to the master frequency, a regen-amplifier, several power amplifier and final wavelength conversion stage. We will also report the characterization of the whole laser system and the performance of the laser system.

  Over the past decade, multi-cell deflecting (TM110) mode cavities have been employed for experiments on six-dimensional phase-space beam manipulation *,**,***,****,****** at the A0 Photo-Injector Lab (16 MeV) in Fermilab and their extended applications with vacuum cryomodules are currently scheduled at the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) user facility (> 50 MeV). Despite the successful test results, the cavity, however, demonstrated limited RF performance during liquid nitrogen (LN2) ambient operation that was inferior to theoretic prediction. We thus fully inspected the cavity design with theoretical calculation (based on Panofsky-Wenzel theorem) combined with RF simulations. Also, we are extensively developing an integrated computational tool with comprehensive system analysis capacity to solve complex thermodynamics and mechanical stresses of a high-Q deflecting-mode cryomodule. We will benchmark simulation analysis result with experimental data from high power RF tests in Fermilab. Successfully developed modeling tool will be potentially used for prompt assessment on RF performance of vacuum-cryomodules.

Earlier experiments at Fermilab’s A0 Photoinjector Laboratory demonstrated successful transverse-to-longitudinal emittance exchange (EEX) using a transverse-deflecting cavity (TDC) located between two identical doglegs. Such a design has the disadvantage of transversely displacing the beam. An interesting alternative is an EEX beamline designed out of a variable R56 bunch compressor chicane. In this paper, we present design and simulation testing for a chicane-based EEX for eventual implementation at Fermilab’s Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator. We explore several advanced EEX concepts, including bunch current profile shaping, bunch compression, and dispersion-boosting to relax the requirements on TDC power and cooling.
